INTRODUCTION
The Bay State Youth Sports Guide is a comprehensive directory of existing
resources on adolescent sports injury prevention. This guide will be valuable
primarily to high school principals, athletic directors, coaches, athletic
trainers, school nurses and physicians, emergency medical technicians, and
stunmer camp staff. By reading through the lists of resources, you can
acquaint yourself with agencies and programs that may be very useful to your
high school or siommer camp athletic progrsim. In addition, the guide provides
information on continuing education and staff training, how to obtain a guest
speaker or film, and updates on the latest developments in the field.
SPORTS INJURIES; AN OVERVIEW
Why focus on sports injuries?
Sports injuries are a widespread problem in the United States. The U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that 3 to 5 million sports-related
Injuries are treated in emergency departments each year. Excluding
bicycle-related Injuries, football, baseball, and basketball are the sports
most likely to cause injury among boys aged 5 to 14, while skating,
gymnastics, and volleyball are the sports most likely to cause injury among
girls of the same ages.
Football and rugby are perhaps the most studied and hazardous sports.
The highest rates of head and neck injury for organized high school sports
occur among football and rugby players. Sixty-six percent of the cervical
spine injuries among adolescents occur while playing football. In the 1987
season, 37% of the one million high school football players missed a practice
or a game due to an injury: 75% of the injured athletes missed seven days or
less; 16%, two to three weeks; and 9% missed more than three weeks of play.
Similarly, Massachusetts' young athletes are also vulnerable to injury.
According to data collected by the Massachusetts Statewide Comprehensive
Injury Prevention Program from 1979 to 1982, 17% of all injuries to children
0-19 resulted from sports activities. One in 27 children sustained a sports
injury requiring hospital care. Sports injuries are most problematic for
adolescents: half of all sports injuries occurred among 10- to 15-year-olds,
and they were the leading cause of injury among 12- to 16-year-olds. The rate
of injury for boys is twice that of girls.
One-third of these sports injuries were sprains and strains, one-fifth
were contusions, and another fifth were fractures. Head injuries eind sprains
or strains were disproportionately high in football and basketball. That is,
football represented 18% of all sports injuries yet accovinted for 26% of all
head injuries from sports. Similarly, basketball contributed to 17% of sports
injuries and 25% of sprains and strains from sports injuries.
Approximately 160,000 high school athletes participate in a variety of
contact and non-contact sports in 353 Massachusetts high schools. It is
estimated that each year 19,600 public and private high school athletes in
Massachusetts will be admitted to a hospital or require emergency department
treatment, and another 39,800 will miss at least seven days of practice or
competition due to a sports injury.
Can sports Injuries be prevented?
Sports injuries can be minimized or avoided if certain preventive
strategies are incorporated into athletic training and recreational play. The
most important and effective preventive steps that can be taken include:
thorough pre-participation physical exams, proper strength and conditioning
workouts, use of appropriate safety equipment, proper supervision, adequate
hydration and rest, and sufficient rehabilitation after an injury.
A review of the national literature has shown that injuries occur for a
variety of reasons related to a child's physical and emotional preparedness to
play and environmental factors affecting the conditions under which a child
plays. These Include:
- Poorly trained coaches — reportedly more than 50% of high school coaches
are inadequately trained in injury prevention, recognition, treatment,
and rehabilitation.
- Overtraining — Insufficient rest and overtraining causes overuse
injuries, especially of major joints, including the shoulders, elbows,
and knees.
- Playing hurt — Inadequate rehabilitation accounts for the 20% re-injury
rate of organized sports.
- Grouping teams by age — Many children play against other children who
are the same age but twice their size.
- Improper equipment — Football paralysis decreased from 34 cases in 1976
to 5 cases in 1984 as a result of improved helmets and the ban on
head-first tackles.
- Hazardous playing fields — Seven deaths were reported in 1986 due to the
failure of goal posts and baseball backstops. Potholes, trash, glass,
and other debris on the field, as well as wet fields, create hazards.
- Inadequate physical exams — Seventeen deaths occurred in 1986 from chest
impacts associated with cardiac arrest or arrhythmias. These
conditions should have been identified in a pre-season exam.
- Stress — Highly stressed football players are reportedly five times more
likely to be injured than their less-pressured teammates.
- Slow and inadequate medical attention.
How can this guide help you?
By providing you with easy access to practical resources and information,
we hope to further your goal of providing an athletic progreun that strongly
emphasizes the prevention of injuries. Parts II and III of the guide provide
detailed and up-to-date information about state and national organizations
involved with sports injury prevention. Part II lists Massachusetts agencies
whose work includes sports injury prevention, academic training programs that
offer courses and degrees in athletic training, sports medicine facilities and
specialists available to provide training or workshops, and the Massachusetts
laws governing high school sports. Part III lists associations, events, and
specialists from across the coijntry that address sports injury prevention.
Part IV lists reference sources, curricula, audiovisual materials, published
reports, injury reporting systems around the country, and other materials
devoted to sports injury prevention.
Although this guide is very comprehensive, you may have discovered
additional resources or materials that have been useful for your athletic
program. Please contact the Sports Injury Prevention Task Force in care of
the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's Statewide Comprehensive Injury
Prevention Program, (617) 727-1246, so that we may share this information with
others.
MASSACHUSETTS SPORTS INJURY PREVENTION TASK FORCE
The Sports Injury Prevention Task Force is a multi-agency group convened
by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health in 1987 to provide leadership
and advocacy in the promotion of sports injury prevention among adolescents.
The Task Force works to expand the communication and dissemination of
knowledge among groups, organizations, and individuals working in sports
injury prevention.
In its first year, the Task Force set two major objectives: to assess
the status of the injury prevention aspects of scholastic athletic programs
and to create a directory of resources available to those progrsuns.
The Task Force achieved the first objective through a survey mailed to
all Massachusetts high school athletic directors in late 1987. This survey
produced valuable information which is being used by the Task Force to advise
the Massachusetts Department of Education, the Massachusetts Department of
Public Health, and the state legislature on policies, progrzuns and issues
affecting sports injury prevention. To receive the results of this survey,
contact the Statewide Comprehensive Injury Prevention Program (SCIPP) at the
number listed below.
During the past year, the Task Force has worked to produce this document,
the Bay State Youth Sports Guide: Resources for Sports Injury Prevention. We
believe that it represents the first attempt at compiling information which
cuts across the boiindaries of specific organizations and associations to
provide a comprehensive selection of resources.
Membership in the Task Force is open to both individuals and
organizations committed to working toward the reduction of injuries among
student athletes. Task Force meetings are held four times a year and
designated subcommittees meet as needed. Participating agencies include:
Athletic Trainers of Massachusetts; Childhood Injury Prevention Resource

rV. EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS
THE SCIPP INJURY PREVENTION RESOURCE LIBRARY
The SCIPP Injury Prevention Resource Library (IPRL) was established in
June 1983 to promote the growth of injury control efforts in Massachusetts.
IPRL is one component of a multifaceted approach to making injury prevention
an integral part of state and local public health practice. The library
provides a comprehensive resource for health professionals, educators,
researchers, child care providers, and other community and state agency
professionals. Located at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health
(MDPH), the library is operated, maintained and continually updated by staff
from the Statewide Comprehensive Injury Prevention Program (SCIPP). The
library includes books, journal articles, government reports, curricula, and
other print emd audiovisual materials, all of which are available for loan and
reference use. (SCIPP audiovisual materials are only available for loan
within Massachusetts.)
A sports section has been set aside in the resource library for easy
access to sports injury information. The following index lists the pamphlets,
books, journal articles, teaching modules and vinpubllshed documents housed in
the sports injury section. The resources have been categorized by subject
matter: epidemiology, eye injuries, general, medical care, participation,
prevention, regulations and guidelines, safety and types of injuries.
Resources are listed once, alphabetically, by author under the topic
heading which best describes the material.
